Chapter 30 Wrecked (2/2)
”Someone set me up,” Darren told her calmly.
”I know.” Elsa replied. Elsa was not stupid. She knew that the elder of the School of Blade Skill was responsible for what happened to Darren.
The School of Blade Skill had always resorted to dubious tactics just to gain an upper hand.
”Come back to the school with me and meet our brothers,” Elsa said as she turned and headed to the Sword Mountain with a distressed expression.
Darren did not know what to say. He felt several mixed emotions. No matter what everyone said, a part of him felt like absorbing the sword intent seed and the blade intent seed wasn't much of a mistake. On the contrary, he felt like there was more to it. It even felt like an opportunity.
He then realized that there was no use mulling it over right now. He first had to enter the school. He should just focus on going to the Sword Mountain first.
Along the way, he saw the magnificent and majestic sword-shaped peak. It was probably because there were swordsmen living here that the whole mountain resonated with a fierce momentum of sword energy.
As they arrived at the simple and unsophisticated mountain gate, he heard a loud shout.
”What on earth do you think you are doing?
You must have been living in a cloud this whole time. After wasting our resources for such a wreck, you dare come here to see me?
Starting today, you are to stay in your room and think about your mistake for the next three months. This is unbelievable!”
Thomas' furious voice echoed far and wide in the mountain along the sounds of rapping on the wooden seat.
Darren hid a bitter smile as he entered the gates. After several setbacks, he finally arrived at the Main Hall.
Once he got in the hall, all eyes turned to him.
Darren only saw pieces of a broken seat, and Elsa looked very aggrieved. It was clear that Thomas had already left.
”I'm sorry, Elsa.” Seeing the disappointment on Elsa's face made Darren regret what he did.
”It's not your fault. In his eyes, everything I do is wrong,” she said. Then, she stood up and left as well.
There were more than 20 people in the hall. After seeing Darren, their expressions turned cold.
”How dare you come in here? Don't you know what you did? You should get out of here,” one of the people said.
”See what you did! Now, even Elsa is in trouble because of you,” another said. ”Well, spending so many resources on a hopeless case is so unlucky. No wonder the elder is so angry!”
Every word was like a dagger. Soon, Darren's expression turned cold as well.
”Nonsense!” Suddenly, a tall young man in green stood up and shouted angrily. ”The reason why the elder is so angry is because we were tricked by the School of Blade Skill. Darren is a victim. You are all so ridiculous!”
After what he said, everyone's faces began to change. It seemed that the speaker was someone respected by the disciples.
”Darren, don't feel bad. Since you have entered our school, we are brothers. We should take care of each other from now on. I'm Cody Qi. As the eldest disciple, I will do what I can so the elder will calm down. Don't worry about it,” Cody said as he patted Darren on the shoulder to reassure him.
'The eldest disciple is a good man, ' Darren thought.
”Okay, Keller. Now, take Darren to his place so he could rest,” Cody commanded.
”Thank you, Cody.” Darren held his fist and saluted Cody.
”No problem. Go and rest. Tomorrow, I'll find someone to go and get your resources and send them to your place.”
Darren nodded and then left with the one called Keller Jiao.
